Your Virtual Advocate was founded in 2017 by attorney, Julie C. Hancock, with a mission to make high-quality immigration legal services accessible worldwide — including rural communities and regions outside major cities. What began as a vision for virtual advocacy has grown into a practice recognized for guiding creators, innovators, and entrepreneurs through complex U.S. immigration processes.

Julie delivers tailored strategies for extraordinary ability visas (O-1A, O-1B), EB-1A green cards, National Interest Waivers (NIW), and TPS transitions, while also defending clients facing Requests for Additional Evidence (RFE), Notices of Intent to Deny (NOID). Notices of Intent to Revoke (NOIR), denaturalization, or status challenges.

Today, immigration law is more complex and fast-changing than ever. Daily shifts in policy, enforcement, and adjudication standards make it critical for foreign nationals to work with experienced, trusted counsel. Our approach combines structured evidence-gathering systems with a highly personalized strategy, ensuring that every case is presented with clarity, strength, and precision.  We also stand proudly in strong support and solidarity with communities across the nation, and locally in Wisconsin, and fight to protect the rights of everyone living inside the borders of the United States.
